The Two Great Commandments - Prayer Request for the Victims of Islamic Persecution (Ecumenical)

The Two Great Commandments Of Christianity

"And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?

And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these." Mark 12 28-31 (KJV)

This passage is the core of Christianity. Islam has nothing analogous - the Five Pillars do not touch on Charity. In fact, Islam, through the Qu'ran and Haditha, in numerous passages, expressly authorizes deceit, hatred, and violence toward "infidels."

That hatred and violence is being demonstrated on a daily basis in countries such as Egypt, Libya, and Syria, the venue of what some praise as the “Arab Spring.” As a result of that movement, Christians, Jews and members of other Faiths are being systematically, ruthlessly and murderously persecuted into non-existence.

Among the Christian communities being eliminated are some, such as the Copts of Egypt, who are among the oldest Christian communities in the world, dating from the 1st Century A.D. I lack the erudition to cite the examples of Islamic persecution of Jews and those of other faiths. I invite those who visit this thread to contribute what they know of these things.

I ask for your prayers for these persecuted Christians, Jews, and members of other faiths. As the poet Alfred Lord Tennyson wrote, “More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of.” Let your prayers rise like the notes of a Gregorian Amen for these persecuted children of God!

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Pinging Trussell’s prayer warriors for this, yet another outrage against Christ and Christianity.

[luvie]

....and prayers of peace from myself.....

Thank you, Conor. We MUST pray! God commands us to love - To love Him and to love our neighbors. God will be right beside us, as we pray for our Country, our neighbors and Israel.

[ConorMacNessa]

Thanks very much, Luv!

The systematic cleansing of Christians and other "infidels" by Muslims in any land in which they gain power is a well known fact. The Holy Land, at the beginning of the 20th Century had a large Christian population. At the beginning of the 21st Century, the Christian population is down to a couple of percent.

In Indonesia, the nation with the largest Muslim population in the world, Christian children have been beheaded on their way from home to school. The Lamestream media ignores it, as they ignore every other item of news that does not serve their agenda.

I am beyond being appalled at this commonplace inhumanity. It's time for the scales to drop from the eyes of the American people! We're being lead down the Road to Perdition and the pace grows ever quicker! Wake up, America!

[ConorMacNessa]

Thank you, Yorkie! We are under attack, not only as Christians or Jews, but as people of Faith. The Islamists on one side, the Godless on the other. We must pray for the Grace to prevail against these unholy forces!

It’s ironic that the very press that ignores and subtly supports this madness would be among the first to be purged! It’s a crazy world.

[Diver Dave]

Thanks for this information, Conor.

Prayers offered up for the safety of Christians, Jews and other faiths.

[Alamo-Girl]

I join in prayer for the victims of Islamic persecution.

[ConorMacNessa]

Thanks so much for your prayers, Dave! It is more important that we pray now than at any time during my lifetime.

Thank you, Alamo-Girl - Your prayers are deeply needed and most appreciated!

[WVNan]

My heart weeps every day for all of God’s precious children who are being martyred around the world. The stories that we hear are too horrendous to understand.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Prayers for the victims of this Satanic ideology.

[ConorMacNessa]

Good morning, Nan! The acts for which I ask your prayers are indeed horrific. When I was a boy, there was some anti-Catholic prejudice. It was nothing compared to the relentless anti-Christian and anti-theistic propaganda that now issues from the Media and is taught in our schools. No religion can be mentioned other than Islam. They get a pass for some reason that is not known to me.

[ConorMacNessa]

Thank you very much for your prayers, FRiend! It is indeed a Satanic Cult - not a "Religion of Peace."

Eternal Father, we offer Thee the merits of the Most Precious Blood of Jesus, Thy Beloved Son and my Divine Redeemer, for all my relations, friends and enemies, for the poor, the sick, and those in tribulation, and for all those for whom Thou willest I should pray, or knowest that I ought to pray.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Blessed and praised forevermore be Jesus Who hath saved us by His Precious Blood!

A Bishop Sheen once said that while there is nothing with “castles in the air”, one had to be willing to do the work to build the foundation beneath it.

“Islam Delenda Est” is the only answer to Islam - because of what Islam is and because of what Muslims Does.

Islam is a cancer.

Radiation is the answer.

Alas, turning the other cheek to a Muslim ends in slavery or death.

To quote Saint Lehrer:
“The Lord’s our shepherd, says the Psalm
but, just in case, we better get a bomb.”

Wow...Conor THANK YOU for Posting this Thread. I am pinging my Prayer Warrior List from The Garden of Prayer for Jerusalem.

Other Faiths that are being persecuted by the followers of the koran are:
1. All the Jewish Communities in nations that are ruled by Islam.
2. Jewish Communities in Malmo, Sweden, the Netherlands, and France.
3. Buddhists in Central Asia (Remember the Buddha Statues in Afghanistan?)
4. Christians in BETHLEHEM (of all places!)
5. Followers of the Bahai Faith and Jehovah’s Witnesses in Iran
6. Christians in newly “freed” Iraq
7. Christians in Libya
8. Jews in North African Countries recently affected by the “Arab Spring”
9. Hindus in Kashmir and Northern India
10.Christians and Animists in Somalia

I am not a Jew, a Hindu, a Buddhist, a Bahai, a JW, or an Animist. But, like the saying goes, if we don’t speak up for them, there will be nobody to speak up for us Christians when our “time” comes. And now, Our “Time” has arrived.

Heavenly Father,
You know the sufferings of our brethren, as not even a sparrow falls to the ground without Your notice. Indeed, the very hairs upon our heads are numbered, according to Your Word. We earnestly lift up in prayer those souls yearning for religious liberty in the dark places of the earth. Even as we pray for them, for You To Be Their Sun and Their Shield, Their Fortress, their High Tower, their refuge and Their Strength, we also pray that You will open the eyes of the blind, unstop the ears of the deaf, and set the captives free from false religion. We pray that this occurs, not by coercion, but by the Sweet Anointing of Your precious Holy Spirit. We pray for an END to Torture, Bondage, Sexual Trafficking, Slavery, Cruelty, Mutilations, Slaughter of Innocents, Kidnapping, Murder, Forced Conversions, Piracy, The Burnings and Bombings of Houses of Worship, Rape and Forced Marriages, and Financial Discrimination in Jesus Name. In Jesus Name, and armed with the Holy Word of God, we stand united against the evil powers that threaten Civilization. We stand with the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and with His Messiah to say, “BEGONE, evil one!”, in the Name of Jesus!
Amen

[Irish Rose]

Amen.
